This is an inaugural complimentary 12-week beginner 5K training program sponsored by New Balance.

No Boundaries is a nationally recognized program that will begin its orientations on Thursday, June 20 and Tuesday, July 9, with the training beginning on Tuesday, July 16th at Fleet Feet Sports Fort Wayne location, 5661 Coventry Lane in the Common Area.

Five kilometers, or 3.1 miles, may seem like an insurmountable distance to those who have never participated in running or walking activities. However, with this positive motivational walk/run program, running, training and new friendships will soon be discovered. It is designed for you. At your pace. It includes weekly group training runs and educational clinics.

“No Boundaries participants will learn about proper nutrition, choosing the correct running or walking gear and avoiding injury,” said Kevin Croy, who is an owner and operator of Fleet Feet Sports in Fort Wayne along with his wife Jeanice. “These lessons, alongside basic walk/run training, are all key components to 5K success.”
Welcome to the starting line!

If this is your first attempt at running, or you want to improve on what you already do, this program is for you. You may even have a goal to finish the Fort4Fitness 4-miler on September 28. Everyone starts at a level comfortable for them. And you work at it together, and in no time, you have accomplished what you started out to do!
The No Boundaries running coaches will encourage you with each step you take. It’s a positive program with no one left behind. When you run, you will run for your own PR (personal record).

Starting out slow is key. For beginners, the first few times you may only walk. Then, in a week or so you will add a little jog and before you know it you will be running! Enjoying time with fellow runners. Telling jokes, sharing stories, and chatting about, well, just about everything…one step at a time to the finish line.
